Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News.

The Tai-Ex opened up 55-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 28,350

on turnover of 10-billion N-T.

The market moved sharply higher on Wednesday on the back of upbeat comments

by Nvidia on artificial intelligence - which sparked strong buying in local

electronics heavyweights.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing was in focus and rose by 2-per cent to

close at 1,505 N-T -- contributing about 240 points to the main board's rise

and sending the electronics sub-index up by 1.67-per cent.

Nvidia has confirmed that its Taiwan headquarters will be built on two plots

of land at the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park.

According to Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an, the city government is taking steps

to fast-track administrative procedures to help the company establish its

presence (在場) as soon as possible.

The mayor is estimating that a formal contract between the city and Nvidia

can be expected by mid-2026.

Nvidia founder and C-E-O Jensen Huang first announced plans to establish the

company's new Taiwan headquarters in the Beitou-Shilin Technology Park in May

of this year.

The Cabinet is scheduled to refine its policies on the employment of migrant

workers.

The moves include allowing the hiring of additional workers beyond existing

quotas, provided each extra foreign worker results in a local employee

receiving a monthly pay increase of 2,000 N-T.

According to Minister without Portfolio Chen Shih-chung, the number of

migrant workers to be employed under the planned new system will be capped

(為…設定了上限) at less than 10-per cent of an employer's total workforce.

The Cabinet is expected to approve measures during a meeting later today.

Exit polls suggest that 38-year-old Rob Jetten's liberal D66 party is on

track to win the Dutch elections.

The far-right anti-immigration PVV led by Geert Wilders look set to come

second but in a far weaker (較弱) position than the last election two years

ago.

William Denselow reports from The Hague.

Morocco has charged more than 2,400 people over youth-led protests that

turned violent earlier this month, a sweeping response to some of the

country’s largest anti-government demonstrations in years.

Of the 2,480 people who have been charged, nearly 1-thousand-500 of them

remain in custody awaiting trial.

Charges included armed rebellion, insulting (侮辱) and using violence against

public officials, and incitement to commit felonies.

The wave of arrests has alarmed human rights groups and become an additional

rallying cry (戰鬥口號) for demonstrators, who have at recent protests held

signs for those arrested for attending protests.

That was the I.C.R.T. EZ News, I'm _____.
